Russell Brand has reassured his wife that things will ‘be OK’ while standing in the dock ahead of his sentencing today.
The convicted rapist is listening to harrowing victim statements from a series of women – one of whom decided to appear in court physically – before he learns how long he will spend in prison.
After arriving at Southwark Crown Court, he was seen telling his wife Laura Gallacher: ‘It’ll be OK, I don’t know how, but it will.’
She had said ‘oh God’ before telling her husband ‘I love you’ as he walked into the dock this morning.
Judge Mr Justice Bennathan previously told Brand he could expect a ‘significant custodial term’ after being found guilty of rape and three sexual assaults last Thursday.
It is expected the judge will deliver his summing-up and pass sentence around 2pm.
Ms Gallacher sat on the same row as Brand’s father Ron Brand, who is wearing a trilby hat and wool coat.
Among the other members of Brand’s entourage in the public gallery is someone holding a Bible with passages highlighted.
